The wave of allegations of sexual misconduct against powerful men which began with reports about Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and have most recently resulted in a Senator resigning from office has made shockwaves in almost every industry, including the television business. However, how each television series has dealt with the allegations has varied wildly.

For instance, "Transparent" star Jeffrey Tambor's spokesperson disclosed to the 'New York Times' that Tambor has "no plans to quit" the show, walking back a suggestion that he would leave the series following accusations of being inappropriate with a co-star and a former assistant. Amazon is investigating the allegations and has not yet made a decision whether they will renew Tambor's contract.

In contrast, soon after men came forward accusing Kevin Spacey of sexual assault with some instances occurring when the victims were minors, Netflix fired the star of their popular series, "House of Cards," going so far as to halt production so that the final season could be entirely rewritten without him. His co-star Robin Wright will take over as the lead of the series in its sixth and final season.
